2568 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 2568 Bedford Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Alton Tortall and built in 1931, has experienced persistent heating and maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025. The building has recorded eight heat and hot water complaints in 2024-2025, with the most recent occurring in March 2025, all classified as emergencies. While some of these complaints were resolved with heating and hot water restoration, there have been significant access issues preventing proper inspections.
The building currently has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations, including a need for annual bedbug reporting (April 2024), and multiple safety concerns in Apartment 3A regarding smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector functionality, as well as leaky kitchen faucets (February 2024). Other safety-related violations include blocked fire escapes on the 2nd and 3rd stories (February 2024) and previous violations regarding an obstructed fireproof passageway and inadequate heating in Apartment 1B (January 2024). Additional historical context includes a rat activity inspection in August 2024 and previous 311 complaints regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions (November 2024).
There was also an important environmental control board violation issued in May 2023 regarding an obstructed fire escape, resulting in a $3,125 penalty. More recently, the building has had inspections pass for rodent activity as of September 2024, though earlier inspections in 2024 had noted rat activity. The property has a notable history of heat-related issues, with multiple complaints in both 2024 and 2025, though some complaints were duplicates or addressed through restoration efforts. There have also been periods of non-compliance with boiler inspections, including a violation noted in 2019 for failing to file the 2017 inspection report.
